Upcycling, a strategy that initializes Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) by replicating pre-trained feed-forward or MoE networks to expand model capacity, has become a popular method in continual learning due to its effectiveness in mitigating catastrophic forgetting. However, existing paradigms rely on indi…
Continual learning (CL) seeks models that acquire new knowledge while avoiding catastrophic forgetting. However, many methods that mitigate forgetting constrain parameter updates and thereby reduce model plasticity. We revisit the singular value spectrum of gradients in representative CL methods and…
We present ExAct, a new video-language benchmark for expert-level understanding of skilled physical human activities. Our new benchmark contains 3,521 expert-curated video question-answer pairs spanning 11 physical activities in 6 domains: Sports, Bike Repair, Cooking, Health, Music, and Dance. ExAc…
Image cartoonization has attracted significant interest in the field of image generation. However, most of the existing image cartoonization techniques require re-training models using images of cartoon style. In this paper, we present CartoonDiff, a novel training-free sampling approach which gener…
Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) have demonstrated proficiency in handling a variety of visual-language tasks. However, current MLLM benchmarks are predominantly designed to evaluate reasoning based on static information about a single image, and the ability of modern MLLMs to extrapolate fr…
